Swiftech
MCX 462 with rheostat |
Size over all
L/B/H |
o 80/80/83 mm
The cooler is much bigger than the socket - see
fit for fan guide ! |
| Cooling output |
+++++ 68,5 CFM (4900 rpm) and
54,5 CFM at lowest rotation speed of about 3900 rpm |
| Noise level |
--- 48,5 dB (A) and 39 dB at
lowest rpm
What should i say about 48,5 dB ?
Better nothing because i can't hear my own words :-)
But the fan noise isn't so loud at the lowest rotation speed.
Listen to the sound - lowest speed: highest speed: |
| Mounting |
---- OK, you don't need any
functional noses at your socket and the exceptionally construction
holds the hole life, but you have to take out your mainboard
to mount this cooler,
or you have to drill
four holes into the rear panel of your case like i've done.
So it's a very strong hold for this heavy cooler, but also takes
a longer time to mount. |
| Cooling results |
+++++ Wow ! This is the first
time a cooler gets five times plus - really fabulous result
!
33°C at 1,75 Vcore and 36° C at 1,90 Vcore with 1066
MHz !!!
Also the lowest is very good - 39°C at 1,90 Volt ! |
|
General impression
|
++++ The 730 gramm heavy MCX
462 copper cooler from Swiftech sets total new standards
at the air cooler market and reach the top of all cooler results
!
This heatsink have also broken two rekords - the highest Airflow
with 68,5 CFM and
the lowest CPU temperature with 36° celsius.
The final result would be unreachable for others if Swiftech
also give this cooler a
little bit faster mountable holding device.
The new construction and the well polished surface of the
bottom side is not compareable
with the "older" MC462-A.
I think here're enough reasons to give this cooler the Overclocking
Dream award of ocinside.de
where Gabe didn't promise me to much about this MCX-462 ;-)
The cooler is universally compatible with ALL SOCKET A Motherboards
that have the four
mounting holes (including dual processors) and the cooler
is universally compatible with all
Pentium 4 processors with the brackets they provide separately
- socket 423, socket 478,
and socket 603 Xeon processors (including dual).
An english mounting guide and a seperate fan control plug
is also inclusive.
Optional available is also the tested rheostat to lower the
fan speed.
This fan is also fit for using with Peltier Element !
Many thanks to Swiftech
for this test sample.
